N.J. town cuts phone landlines

Mantoloking was devastated by Hurricane Sandy last year, leaving its telephone lines in disarray. But the N.J. town is being rebuilt better than before. Verizon (VZ) won't be rebuilding its copper-line telephone network, instead it will offer residents its new Verizon Voice Link service, which connects both wired and cordless phones to the Verizon Wireless network, according to reports in the Asbury Park Press. Mantoloking is the first town in N.J. and one of just a few in the U.S. to be eligible for the service.
